We stayed in golden sands 3 building. In the hotel our expectations. The hotel is however very badly soundproofed. Wheelchair users must the back entrance of the parking. The light switches etc. Are wheelchair too high. The hotel lies really centrally located and thus for 15-20 aed by taxi in with many objects of interest arrived. The shuttle to the beach had to be reserved. The internet access worked in the room (via a private cable) very good. We took on, that we all 230 v adapter have, but this was not the case. There is a larger version in ... Dubai. The television program Dubai-tv is only in arabic available, so is the information about the region a bit difficult. Different newspapers but in the foyer from (also in english). read more

A cheap, good hotel as a starting point for the visit dubai. A little far away of public transportation, but there are always taxis available. The hotel itself is inside in the hallways a bit shabby, however the rooms compensate. Very spacious and friendly, safe, large fridge and a small kitchenette are available, as well as a tv and comfortable sofa. Which was nice, there were nescafé, tea, milk and sugar in bags available (also a kettle is there), the also are refilled. The balcony leaves much to be desired, it is tiny and the pool is a joke, however ... there is a free shuttle bus to the beach. The breakfast buffet is excellent. Conclusion, for a city break ideal, as pure holiday unsuitable. read more

The hotel golden sands 3 is located in the district of bur Dubai. It is located on a side street in the complex the golden sands apartment hotels. The first impression of the lobby is good with friendly staff 24 hours. English are absolutely necessary, since the staff only english and arabic speaks. With a bit of luck you will meet the night porter, even spoke german. Problems were solved immediately. The apartment -rooms are big enough and sufficiently with the charm of a somewhat older hotel. A kitchenette with elements, refrigerator and washer-dryers supplemented the furnishings. The tv gets ... no german channels. The air conditioning is effective, however, as in all the warmer countries, to bedtime to get used to. The breakfast focuses on the many guests from the arab and indian space and is for europeans a bit of getting used to. The proximity to inexpensive restaurants in the malls makes this downside up for it. Several supermarkets are in the immediate proximity with a rich offer. Excellent is the location in the city centre with great transport links. All means of transport, such as bus (also the red bus for city tours) and metro are on foot in maximum 10 minutes to reach. If you don't want to walk, one of the many coloured marked taxis. Great value. All in all, for a city break, in which mostly on the way is, a cheap hotel with acceptable amenities. read more

Great star hotel! Golden sands 3!

The hotel is in the district of bur Dubai. It is located on a side street in the complex the golden sands apartment hotels (4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 11.). This review refers to the golden sands 3. gs 5 is attached. Attractive lobby with very friendly staff 24 hours. With english basic knowledge everything is complete. The night porter even spoke german. Problems were solved immediately. Even a network cable is us made available, as a hair dryer, if necessary. This, everything free of charge. In the lobby and in the restaurant free wi-fi on the rooms only ... internet access. Had only booked breakfast. The room was big enough with a balcony. In the hotel there was in the lobby a small café, a rental car service and tour services. The main nationalities were british, dutch, french and german. Finally, you can say, you are in an arab country with international crowd. That naturally also something else to eat gives, for example indian, is normal. The world revolves not only german tourists. For a 3 star hotel in arabia i can't say anything bad. If silicon joints around the tap and something angedunkelte edges disturb, as well as curtains, the somewhat spotted are, or a breakfast buffet, without cheese and only with a sort sausage, or the restaurant cafeteria style describes, should rather in the many other 4 or 5 star hotels, the in Dubai are available. This then but also at least twice as much costs. The available service was however likewise 4-or 5-star in Europa. Do not think, that a 3 star hotel in Turkey or Spain as well as good! We felt pudelwohl, care and in good hands there. read more

    The room is big enough. Seating area, dining table, and desk, kitchenette with refrigerator and freezer, stove, microwave, kettle (tea and instant coffee, sugar and milk powder), kitchenware and a washing machine with dryer. Flat screen tv (without german channels), telephone, adjustable air conditioning, safe, and iron and ironing board and iron. Bed about 160 wide with only a big blanket and hard. If you are not used to, it is initially know, but. The bathroom small, with a shower, toilet, bidet and sink. Sufficiently toilet paper present! The balcony big enough with klimaanlagenaggregat, with a view of the hof (car park) and pool. Was only used to a smoking area. The curtains were really not the cleanest, but it wasn't really disturbing. About clairaudience, no trace. Of course the air conditioning a constant noise level. But not so bad, since repetitive. The aggregate on the balcony was only with open door audible.

    The breakfast in the small but attractive and very clean and gepfleckten breakfast room and restaurant, which 24 hours open is. For breakfast there were every day another variation of eggs (fried eggs, spanish omelet, omelet with mushrooms...) , then there was pancakes with maple syrup, french toast, and sausage and a selection of indian hot food. Toast (white and wheat), cereals, jam, butter, Nutella, fruit and vegetables. Water, multivitamin juice or apple and orange juice (very sweet). Coffee and tea, but unfortunately only soluble. Were twice in the evening in the restaurant to eat and it was absolutely delicious! In the maps were dishes such as: sandwiches, burgers, indian food, salads and soups, as well as international desserts. Everything with love and in sufficient quantity available. The prices are reasonable, for a burger (with salatdeko and chips), an indian lammgericht, two desserts and two drinks we paid about 20 Euro and we were really full. Charged either in cash or to the room. No alcoholic beverages, the real coffee. Also it was possible, the breakfast by the pool to enjoy.

    The service was perfect. All extremely friendly and very helpful and with english is always a communication. The cleaning of the rooms cleaned daily, even wash the used cups and the ashtray. As well as every day the towels were changed. In addition there was a laundry, and room service 24 hours. Also smaller purchases settled. In case of any problems, like for instance missing network cable or a missing hair dryer, will be rectified immediately. There were no complaints. The deposit (500 dha = 100 Euro) must in advance by credit card or be paid by cash, but at check out canceled or redeemed for cash.

    Didn't use it, but seen. The swimming pool very clean (was completely cleaned every morning). The pool the gs3 was in the courtyard and the pool the gs 5 on top of the gs5. Could both be used. Chairs were also sufficiently available. The fitness room was only seen, but it seems very well equipped, for example modern treadmills with a tv.

    District of bur Dubai, on a side street secluded from main roads. In about 200 meters is located a supermarket, the 24 hours open and in which you got everything. In the hotel immediately a hoteltaxiservice offered, a bit more expensive as normal taxis. Makes the most sense, since the next metrostationen about 1 kilometer (al fahidi) or 1.4 kilometer (khalid bin al waleed) and when the heat and the guidance quite strenuous to reach. The shopping mall burjuman is also in 1.4 kilometer distance, with the metro station 'khalid bin al waleed'.

    The rooms are big enough, however very basic. Also here one sees the age of the hotel clearly. In particular in the bathroom are urgently renovation works necessary. The management of the airconditioning was defective with us, so that they do not regulate. With a small kitchenette, there was a washing machine with ironing board, a safe, satellite -tv-and fridge/freezer.

    For the gs 3 and 5, there is a common restaurant in which the breakfast is served. This is a combination from american breakfast and an indian breakfast, but it was always delicious and plentiful. Lunch and/or dinner is in the same restaurant restaurant. For half board / full-board guests a custom menu available, from which you can choose, and which are also not change - after a week it will thus easily boring. Paying guests is a much more extensive menu. The food was tasty and the portions very extensive. We would generally but from a half board / board to advise against, since Dubai a almost massive number of good and less expensive restaurants available.

The water was clean, however is the structure have already gotten very old -> bat sharp tiles and hard edges mingle to the defective lighting and some mold. Also for offer is a very good equipped fitness room, as well as a small finnish sauna. Once a day there was a free shuttle bus to the Jumeira beach park. The gs 3 there is a tour desk and a car rental.

    The hotel is relatively central in a quarter several hotels and apartments. The old souk at creek is about 10 minutes. Burj khalifa is (depending on traffic) about 20 minutes (15 km) and the palm about 35 minutes (35 kilometers) away. The money if you for the taxi save would like is in about 15 minutes walk to the subway station al karama. At least the from us booked gs 5 is secluded from main streets, so that one relatively quiet at night sleep can.

We had booked with two persons a 2-room studio about 66 square meters booked. (Meyer's). The studio was in Golden Sands 3 and was as described in the catalog furnished and clean. Apart from that it is just a older city hotel. Breakfast rather mediocre and on Indian orientated. But toast, egg, Quark and fruit there was every day. 20 minutes on foot the metro station and the supermarket. Already when booking must be clear to you, that you have a middle class city hotel and not a 5 star resort, there is no mean surprises. read more

Not great hotel, however value for money is good. The furnishing the studios has gotten old, the bed was relatively small.

Older hotel in the middle of the city. Positive: the price negative: little variety at the breakfast, we also need-housekeeping took towels, but needed a new, no toilet paper, the bathroom was cleaned-bathroom was never completely rotten, smelled of mold, dirty, mattress completely mountings-air conditioning smelled strongly of mildew and mold-all very badly soundproofed read more

Acceptable hotel in the vicinity of creeks

All in all, it is for the price of 72, -EURO per night and double room for Dubai acceptable. The room was very large and good enough, well equipped with kitchenette (who needs it in the vacation), but no unexceptional. It takes just two chairs with out. We were able to no noise disturbance from the neighboring rooms, firm, but perhaps also had the luck with this. The service was, also at the reception, good, room always clean, also if, as other reviews have mentioned, in the bathroom were to see. The pool is not worth mentioning, you should give ... oneself, also on the roof of the GS5. Very bad was the breakfast buffet: only toast, these days alternately mini croissants or muffins, always only a sort sausage, art Mortadella, diluted juices from the container, elongated scrambled eggs. But a lot of cereals-selection for the, the so-called what be breakfast. Directly opposite the entrance a small supermarket five golden Sands, very inexpensive all daily necessities (except for alcohol of course) offers. At the Mankholl road including Spinneys several shopping malls, very decent supermarket. The hotel is an ideal starting point for explorations of all kinds, whether Creek, old souks, from metro station to Atlantis, etc. everything with taxi within 2 fare to reach. Next to many experiences were our highlights: dinner at the Hyatt (360-degree restaurant with sensational buffet), Arabic night bastakia nights, Abra ride on the creek, open day at the beach. Something disappointing was the ' Atlantis 'and dissuasive the jumeirah beach hotel. Spread the Dubai Marina lying just something flair. We changed after four nights planned to down town Dubai. read more

For short stays can really recommend this hotel. The hotel offers in the evening food in form of a buffet. Although it is not really great, but eatable. At least one is full. Here are 14 eur/Pax for converted about alcoholic free drinks (juices from the automat) including. Alcoholic drinks were it in this hotel no. Unfortunately are in the immediate vicinity no really good restaurants as an alternative. A small supermarket is in direct proximity and also to reasonable prices. If you want to see what, with the taxi one is well-advised. The prices were also OK Shuttle to ... beach is on days fully booked, so that we always drove with the taxi. To be recommended is a city tour with the big bus. Tickets are it with the suppliers in the lobby. As I said, for a short stay up to a maximum of four days to recommend. We want to go to Dubai on each case. But for longer and then a beach hotel. read more

The hotel offers apartments and the stars. In the room we had a lot of space. Sitting room plus bedroom. The leisure facilities with two pool (on two buildings) is for a city hotel also not bad. The food can be seen. The only drawback is it, however. We had an apartment facing a courtyard. There was even with the Windows closed the noise of cool aggregates to hear from the courtyard. Another tip: to golden Sands three questions. My GPS had it not on it. And nine buildings in various roads a detailed description is the most important thing. ... Some tour operators is the map even pointed out. read more

You could hear the chairs of the guests here with us in movement, if you get up from their tables. Furthermore, the generators are the air conditioning so loud, almost not possible is that sleep. Each has its own generator on his balcony. It attracts from all corners. If your neighbor is from his room, the own door wobbled so, as someone would knock on the door. The staff is friendly and helpful. German TV channels are not in it it rather programme. As security had ADE we 300 via MasterCard. Our room had a washing machine/dryer combination available for ... free. It is no hair dryer. Supermarket directly to the corner. 24 hours a day Taxis are always available. Right at the entrance.
